 14U ATTACK COACHES

Alice Morgado

ASSISTANT COACH - 14U ATTACK

Alice discovered her love for volleyball at the age of 12, and over the past four years, her passion for the game has only grown. For the last two years, she has played as an outside hitter, where she honed her skills in offense and court awareness. However, it’s the libero position and the art of defense that have truly captured her heart.

In her pursuit to share this passion and contribute to the next generation of players, Alice began working on her coaching certification last year. She has already gained valuable experience by coaching house league volleyball in Hamilton, where she focused on fostering teamwork, skill development, and a love for the sport. This year, Alice is excited to continue her journey with Smash Volleyball as an assistant coach, and she looks forward to helping young athletes reach their potential both on and off the court.

Kayde Marshall

ASSISTANT COACH - 17U Cyclones ASSISTANT COACH - 14U Attack

This is Kayde’s second year coaching with Smash Raiders. She is excited to be an Assistant Coach with the 17U Cyclones & 14U Attack teams. 

Kayde is a fully Certified Development Coach, and has been coaching volleyball on and off since she was 17 and has 10 years of Head Coaching experience in the OVA.

She played post-secondary volleyball for Niagara college for 3 seasons in different positions. Kayde has recovered from multiple injuries incurred during playing, including 2 ACL tears, so as a coach she understands how important mental health and active recovery are for an athlete, especially after an injury. 

Kayde’s coaching philosophy comes down to 3 things:

  1. Serving and defence wins games 
  2. Fundamentals are always important
  3. Discipline drives competitiveness
